RecoverGlide Adjustable Knee Walker
A steadier, more comfortable way through recovery
The Newbi Move RecoverGlide is a manually propelled four-wheel knee walker designed to support adults recovering from a foot, ankle or lower-leg injury when a healthcare professional considers this type of aid suitable. Its adjustable padded knee rest, steerable handlebar, hand-operated brakes, folding frame and detachable storage bag offer a practical way to move through everyday recovery without relying entirely on crutches.
RecoverGlide at a glance
Who is the RecoverGlide best suited for?
The RecoverGlide may suit adults who have been advised to keep weight off one foot or lower leg and who can safely balance, steer, brake and propel a knee walker using their unaffected leg.
- Foot, ankle or lower-leg recovery
- Post-operative non-weight-bearing plans
- Everyday movement at home
- Appointments and short shopping trips
- Firm, level indoor and suitable paved outdoor surfaces
- People seeking a possible alternative to crutches
Before ordering: ask your surgeon, physiotherapist or another qualified healthcare professional whether a knee walker is appropriate for your injury and recovery plan. The injured knee must tolerate resting on the pad, and the user must have sufficient balance, strength, coordination and braking control. A knee walker is not suitable for every injury or user.

Correct setup and fit
- Ask a qualified healthcare professional to confirm that this type of aid is suitable for your injury, abilities and recovery instructions.
- Adjust the padded knee rest so the affected leg is supported comfortably without forcing the hip, knee or back into an awkward position.
- Set the handlebar at a height that allows upright posture, comfortable steering and easy access to both brake levers.
- Make sure every height adjustment, fixing, star knob and locking point is fully secured before use.
- Test the steering and brakes in a clear, controlled area before beginning everyday use.
- Wear secure footwear on the unaffected foot and keep clothing, bags and loose items clear of the wheels.
Stop using the knee walker and seek professional advice if it causes new pain, numbness, swelling, skin pressure or instability, or if your recovery instructions change.
Folding, assembly and safe use
The RecoverGlide arrives partially assembled. Follow the supplied instructions carefully when fitting the wheel assemblies, steering column, padded knee rest and storage bag. The supplier estimates that initial assembly takes approximately five minutes.
- Before every use, make sure the frame is fully unfolded and the locking lever is securely engaged.
- Check that all fasteners are tight and inspect the frame, wheels, knee pad, brake cables and folding mechanism for wear or damage.
- Test both hand brakes before moving and travel at a controlled walking pace.
- Use only on firm, level ground and take particular care around kerbs, thresholds, slopes and changes in surface.
- Do not use on stairs, escalators, steep slopes or loose, wet, icy or badly uneven ground.
- Do not sit or stand on the knee pad, carry a passenger or hang heavy items from the handlebar.
- Keep fingers and clothing clear of hinges and locking points when folding or unfolding the frame.
- Clean with a damp cloth, avoid abrasive or caustic cleaners and store the product in a cool, dry place.
